Which of the cheap mini-wah enclosures is best for a gut renovation?

Seems like there are quite a few.

I dunno, Alan.  I've always felt more like a 5'11" man trapped in a 5'7" body.  But if I was in the market for a "guy renovation", I'd much rather have it done by a qualified surgeon than do it myself with a mini-wah.

Really? Which are those? I have trouble finding any decent affordable wah enclosures, let alone anything mini or cheap.

Damn - my mistake.  Lots of cheap wahs, lots of mini-wahs, but no overlap.  must have been looking on my little phone.

A gut renovation, Mark.  I am subjected to daily attempts at "guy renovation", all have failed.

Earth scum built a way out of a chopped up 1590A!  but the photos are gone!

Yeah, a quick look through Amazon, and while there seem to be more and more mini-wahs in production, they are all going to be in the $100 range or costlier.  You may have to go full-on DIY.  In which case, it strikes me that a system like what Morley frequently used - bulb, LDR, and treadle-operated shutter - is quite amenable to a small form factor.  The nice thing about it is that one can scale down the opaque shading on the shutter, so that the changes in LDR illumination needed can be achieved with whatever treadle arc you have to work with in a small package; something I doubt one could achieve with a rack and pinion.
